Twin Peaks co-creator and show runner David Lynch may have revealed a ballpark premiere date for the return of the show in 2016.

While Showtime vaguely announced that the return of Twin Peaks would air in "2016," nobody has announced a specific release date until now. Lynch discussed what was ahead for the limited series event with Radio 4 Today in Britain.

"I know now I'm going to do nine episodes of Twin Peaks," Lynch admitted. "That's the next thing."

When pressed about details, Lynch was secretive, though he did let one big detail free:

"All these things now are top secret," he said. "You'll see some results in a year and a half I hope."

Presuming he is being accurate, this would put the third season of Twin Peaks at June 2016.

Additionally, the visionary said that television is now where it's at in terms of "arthouse" filmmaking.

"The film business as you know has changed," he observed. "The arthouses have gone. It's a sad time for alternative cinema, but the new arthouse is cable television. Different kind of ideas, non-summer blockbuster-type films are ending up on cable television."

The return of Twin Peaks is slated to take place 25 years after the events of the first two seasons, which aired in 1990 and 1991 on ABC. This is in keeping with Laura Palmer's (Sheryl Lee) doppelgänger's promise to Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in the original run of the series: "I'll see you in 25 years."
